Dumb things I have heard

This is my version of Overheard in Germany.

In the video store:

Customer: Is this a good movie?Clerk: Yes, it's excellent! You know it's in Spanish though, so it's subtitled.Customer: Really? Why? Did it come out in the theatre that way?Clerk: Uh. I guess?Customer: In Spanish, huh. I wonder why.Clerk: It's really good, and worth it to watch.Customer: But was it originally in Spanish or just on this DVD?Clerk: ......Cutomer: I guess I'll look for something else.

The movie was Pan's Labyrinth. Besides wouldn't the DVD have a language option?

At the Medieval festival:

Guy: Hey, check out those guys in the armor!Lady: That's pretty cool.Guy: They must be so hot! I bet they're sweating alot.Lady: Yeah, don't get too close, you know there wasn't deodorant back in Medieval times.Guy: (Laughing) You're right.Lady:...or soap.

Um, WHAT?!? I'm pretty sure there was soap in Medieval times. Weather or not they used it, or that bathing was in fashion, is another thing entirely.
